M & T Distilling sits on Maple Street in Hendersonville, North Carolina, bringing craft spirits to the heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Founded by Mike and Tiffany Garrison, this small-batch operation focuses on producing quality bourbon, rye, and moonshine using traditional methods combined with modern precision. The distillery opened its doors with a commitment to creating spirits that reflect the character of Western North Carolina, sourcing local ingredients when possible and aging their whiskeys in the mountain climate. The Garrisons built their operation from the ground up, installing copper stills and creating a space where visitors can see the entire production process from grain to bottle. You’ll find M & T in a converted building that maintains its industrial charm while serving as a functional distillery where every batch gets personal attention from the founders themselves. The operation remains intentionally small, allowing Mike and Tiffany to maintain hands-on control over every aspect of production, from mash bill development to barrel selection for their aged spirits.
